专题07 阅读填表 主题01 人与社会——科学知识 Passage 1 Have you ever tried talking to yourself instead of writing in a notebook? That’s what a voice journal is all about. Instead of using a pen, people record (记录) their thoughts, feelings, or daily events with their voices. It’s like keeping diaries—but you speak instead of writing. Voice journaling is becoming popular among teenagers. Many students feel tired after a long day at school and don’t want to write. Recording their voices feels easier and faster. Some voice journal apps, with music and pictures, bring the users more fun when they record their voice. There are many benefits to keeping a voice journal. First, it helps improve speaking skills. When you talk clearly and with feelings, you learn how to express (表达) yourself better. Second, voice journals keep real emotions. A written diary might only say “I was sad today,” but a voice journal can sound sad. The feelings are more direct (直接的) and real. Another great thing is that you don’t have to stop what you’re doing to keep a voice journal. You can record while walking, lying on your bed, or even brushing your teeth! This way, you can do two things at the same time. It is helpful for students who have a lot to do every day. Some students also say voice journals help reduce stress. When you talk about your problems aloud, it’s like sharing them with a friend. This helps you feel lighter and calmer. As a new way to keep diaries, voice journals are not for everyone. But why not give it a try? You might have a better understanding of yourself with this tool. Voice Journals: A New Way to 1 .

Braille uses raised marks (符号) to stand for. But not everyone can get modern Braille tools. Electronic Braille readers (电子盲文阅读器) cost over $1,000, which many students can’t buy because they cost too much, especially in poor areas. Yash, a student in Grade 8 at Durham Academy in North Carolina, visited a school for blind students in India and noticed that students were using large printed Braille books to read, which were really heavy. “None of them used light electronic readers—it was sad to see how not having enough money was stopping them from learning,” he said. Wanting to help, Yash made the decision to build an electronic Braille reader that anyone could have enough money to buy. He wanted to build it for less than $50. After trying many times, Yash finally built a model, which used small turning parts to create little raised parts that felt like Braille marks. Yash tested it at the Blind Relief Association in New Delhi, India, and the students there could read Braille on it, and his model cost only $35. He reached the finals of the 2024 Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge and also won the first place in the Technology Award category. He was named as one of the country’s best young scientists as well. Building this tool helped Yash learn many new skills. For example, Yash had always been good with something like the screen and keyboard. However, he didn’t know much about the code (编码) running on the computer. He had to teach himself to write steps to tell a computer what to do. To learn more, Yash watched videos on YouTube and read on Reddit. Looking back, Yash has advice for young inventors. “Start by working out problems that are small in your daily life,” he says. “You don’t need to make something perfect. Keep making your ideas better and better and keep asking people for advice. That’s how your ideas turn into solutions.” An Invention for the Blind Problems faced by blind people ·Not everyone can get electronic Braille readers because they are too 6 .

Sleep, read books, or use your phone? In China, some trans are turning into mobile cultural classrooms (移动文化课堂) for passengers to experience Chinese culture. Passengers on the K7041 train from Harbin to Mohe in Heilonguang met five artists from the Oroqen (鄂伦春族). Gulayier Ente was one of the artists. And he sang Oroqen songs on the train in traditional clothing. The beautiful music made people cheerful. “For me, the experience was wonderful. Being closer to passengers and communicating with them helped us enjoy ourselves,” said Gulayier. The train started running in January, 2025 to celebrate the Chinese New Year. During the train journey, artists sang, danced and made birch bark (桦树皮) paintings. “I used to be bored when I took a train. Now, I can watch special shows and learn about Chinese culture. It’s really exciting!” said Ms. Zhang, a visitor from Guizhou. In fact, there are also other forms of Chinese art on trains, such as Qinhuai lanterns and tea-picking operas. Trains go across most areas of China, so they are perfect for sharing Chinese culture with more people. Unlike museums, trains can bring cultural experiences directly (直接地) to people. Of course, this is just the first step in the train cultural experience, and it still has a long way to go. For example, how can we make the train experience better when there is only a little space on the train? And people are getting on and off at each station. Then how can we make sure every passenger has full train experience? All train workers need to work harder to bring more Chinese culture to train journeys. Chinese culture comes to life on the train Introduction ●Common activities on trains: Sleep, read books, and use phones. ●New activity: 14 Chinese culture.

Jiaozi’s journey to success was not easy. He studied medicine at college, but he loved animation so much that he decided to change his career. However, this decision brought him quite a few difficulties. For example, he had to learn how to make animated films, working hard to learn every detail. What’s worse, he couldn’t find a job and had to ask for help from his mother for several years. Neighbors laughed at him, thinking of him as one of the boomerang generation (啃老族), a loser in life. Difficult as it was, Jiaozi never gave up. His first major film, Ne Zha, was released in 2019 and became a huge success. It had exciting action, humor, and emotional depth. The film told Ne Zha’s story in a new way, making it interesting for young people to watch. With Ne Zha 2 becoming the highest-grossing animated film in history and ranking (排名) fifth among all films worldwide, Jiaozi has shown the world the power of Chinese animation, inspiring (鼓舞) many young filmmakers. Jiaozi’s story is one of passion (激情), perseverance (坚持), and creativity. He shows that with hard work and love, dreams can come true. His journey from a self-taught animator to a world-famous director is an inspiration for many, showing that success comes to those who never stop trying. Jiaozi and His Journey in AnimationI.

In 613 BC, King Zhuang became the ruler of Chu. At this time, the State of Jin (晋国) saw a chance to become more powerful and told smaller states, which were once friends with Chu, to join them. That made the ministers (大臣) of Chu very worried. They wanted King Zhuang to fight back and get their power back.   However, King Zhuang didn’t listen. Instead, he lived a carefree life for three years. He even made a rule: anyone who was brave enough to give him advice would face punishment (惩罚).   One minister, Wu Ju, could not stand by any longer. He decided to speak to King Zhuang. When he got closer, the king was busy having fun. King Zhuang asked, “What brings you here?” Wu replied, “I heard a riddle (谜语) but couldn’t solve it. You are a wise king. Please give it a try.”   King Zhuang smiled, “Tell me the riddle.” Wu said, “On the mountains of Chu, there is a great bird with colorful feathers (羽毛). It looks proud but has not moved for three years. It neither flies nor sings. What kind of bird is that?”   “This bird is not common,” King Zhuang replied. “If it doesn’t fly, it stays still. But when it does, it will fly high. If it doesn’t sing, it is quiet. But when it does, it will surprise everyone.”   Later, another minister named Su Cong noticed King Zhuang still hadn’t acted and went to speak with him. King Zhuang was happy and realized his ministers wanted the best for the kingdom. He decided to make a change, starting with his army.   That same year, King Zhuang controlled many groups in the South. By the sixth year, he beat Song.

It’s too expensive to buy a house. So people choose the “floating (漂浮的) houses”. There were over 35,000 boats on rivers in England and Wales in 2022. Many are people’s main homes. One month, I’d be in the heart of the city; the next, I parked next to cows in the countryside,” he said. Liam Quinn, a 37-year-old musician, lived happily on a narrow boat (运河船) for five years in London. “I loved waking up to the water and swans.” A small boat costs (花费) between 50,000 pounds (英镑) (about 456,000 yuan) and 100,000 pounds. That’s cheaper than buying an apartment (公寓) in London. In the richest places, the price of an apartment averages (平均) around 600,000 pounds. But boat life isn’t all fun. Quinn had to move his boat every two weeks and clean the toilet every day. Yuck! Still, Quinn loved his watery home. “You learn to fix things and make friends with others.

I’ve read when smokers give up the habit, their lungs (肺) begin to repair themselves. So could it be true that our brains are boring by hours of phone use? One day, something touched me and I decided to stop my phone addiction (上瘾) habit to live my life fully (充实地). Of course, a complete change was impossible because the phone was part of our daily life. My new rules allowed for basic uses such as texting, calling, checking the news and making planned searches. Also, online shopping and social media (媒体) use should be limited. But my No.1 rule was simple: Do not pick up the phone as a reflex (反射动作) to kill boredom. Reducing my screen time has caused a lot, which is quite interesting. Just a few days after giving up the habit, I’ve read two books and I’ve had more creative ideas for writing projects in the last week than I had in the last year. More interestingly, I’ve also had more active communication with someone I don’t know, whether it’s giving out a praise, laughing at something funny, or taking an extra moment to hold open a door. We’ve given the little computers in our hands far more of our time and attention than they should. They’ve become crutches (拐杖), giving us excuses. But the funny thing is, when we put them down, we’ll fill our time in a wise way. And we may just discover a new enjoyment of old pleasures or new ones, which makes our brains fresh and new instead of being weak in ways we’d almost forgotten.

The sun is important. It makes plants grow and produce food. It also can help your body get vitamin D, which makes you strong. However, after spending long hours in the sun, you may feel tired. Why does the sun make you feel tired? First, your body doesn’t want to heat up (升温), so it has to use lots of energy to cool itself down and remain its common temperature 37°C. If you feel too tired in the sun, you should take a break and cool down. The second reason is short of water. When you stay in the sun for long, you will sweat (流汗) a lot, and your body will lose too much water. As a result, your blood becomes thicker, which makes it harder for your heart to send blood. And it means less O2, will be sent to your body. If your body doesn’t have O2 inside, you will feel even more tired. Another reason-is sunburn (日晒), which is your skin’s reaction (皮肤的反应) to the UV in sunlight. As a form of protection, your skin turns red, but this is also tiring for your body. Warming rays (光线) are good for you, but tiredness is your body’s way of telling you that it has enough sunlight in the day. So you should have a rest. Do you know the sun very well? Advantage 1. All the living things live on the sun. 2. Human bodies get vitamin D from the sun. Disadvantage The sun makes humans 57 58 1. The sun heats up humans’ bodies, but it takes much 59 to cool down, which makes humans tired. 2. The sun makes humans lose 60 by sweating, which causes the lack of O₂in the body, so humans feel tired. 3. The sun burns humans’ skin, and skin turns red to 61 itself, which is tiring for the body. 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题07 阅读填表 主题01 人与社会——科学知识 Passage 1 Have you ever tried talking to yourself instead of writing in a notebook?

Sleep, read books, or use your phone? In China, some trans are turning into mobile cultural classrooms (移动文化课堂) for passengers to experience Chinese culture. Passengers on the K7041 train from Harbin to Mohe in Heilonguang met five artists from the Oroqen (鄂伦春族). Gulayier Ente was one of the artists. And he sang Oroqen songs on the train in traditional clothing. The beautiful music made people cheerful. “For me, the experience was wonderful. Being closer to passengers and communicating with them helped us enjoy ourselves,” said Gulayier. The train started running in January, 2025 to celebrate the Chinese New Year. During the train journey, artists sang, danced and made birch bark (桦树皮) paintings. “I used to be bored when I took a train. Now, I can watch special shows and learn about Chinese culture. It’s really exciting!” said Ms. Zhang, a visitor from Guizhou. In fact, there are also other forms of Chinese art on trains, such as Qinhuai lanterns and tea-picking operas. Trains go across most areas of China, so they are perfect for sharing Chinese culture with more people. Unlike museums, trains can bring cultural experiences directly (直接地) to people. Of course, this is just the first step in the train cultural experience, and it still has a long way to go. For example, how can we make the train experience better when there is only a little space on the train? And people are getting on and off at each station. Then how can we make sure every passenger has full train experience? All train workers need to work harder to bring more Chinese culture to train journeys.

That made the ministers (大臣) of Chu very worried. They wanted King Zhuang to fight back and get their power back.   However, King Zhuang didn’t listen. Instead, he lived a carefree life for three years. He even made a rule: anyone who was brave enough to give him advice would face punishment (惩罚).   One minister, Wu Ju, could not stand by any longer. He decided to speak to King Zhuang. When he got closer, the king was busy having fun. King Zhuang asked, “What brings you here?” Wu replied, “I heard a riddle (谜语) but couldn’t solve it. You are a wise king. Please give it a try.”   King Zhuang smiled, “Tell me the riddle.” Wu said, “On the mountains of Chu, there is a great bird with colorful feathers (羽毛). It looks proud but has not moved for three years. It neither flies nor sings. What kind of bird is that?”   “This bird is not common,” King Zhuang replied. “If it doesn’t fly, it stays still. But when it does, it will fly high. If it doesn’t sing, it is quiet. But when it does, it will surprise everyone.”   Later, another minister named Su Cong noticed King Zhuang still hadn’t acted and went to speak with him. King Zhuang was happy and realized his ministers wanted the best for the kingdom. He decided to make a change, starting with his army.   That same year, King Zhuang controlled many groups in the South. By the sixth year, he beat Song.

I’ve read when smokers give up the habit, their lungs (肺) begin to repair themselves. So could it be true that our brains are boring by hours of phone use? One day, something touched me and I decided to stop my phone addiction (上瘾) habit to live my life fully (充实地). Of course, a complete change was impossible because the phone was part of our daily life. My new rules allowed for basic uses such as texting, calling, checking the news and making planned searches. Also, online shopping and social media (媒体) use should be limited. But my No.1 rule was simple: Do not pick up the phone as a reflex (反射动作) to kill boredom. Reducing my screen time has caused a lot, which is quite interesting. Just a few days after giving up the habit, I’ve read two books and I’ve had more creative ideas for writing projects in the last week than I had in the last year. More interestingly, I’ve also had more active communication with someone I don’t know, whether it’s giving out a praise, laughing at something funny, or taking an extra moment to hold open a door. We’ve given the little computers in our hands far more of our time and attention than they should. They’ve become crutches (拐杖), giving us excuses. But the funny thing is, when we put them down, we’ll fill our time in a wise way. And we may just discover a new enjoyment of old pleasures or new ones, which makes our brains fresh and new instead of being weak in ways we’d almost forgotten.

The sun is important. It makes plants grow and produce food. It also can help your body get vitamin D, which makes you strong. However, after spending long hours in the sun, you may feel tired. Why does the sun make you feel tired? First, your body doesn’t want to heat up (升温), so it has to use lots of energy to cool itself down and remain its common temperature 37°C. If you feel too tired in the sun, you should take a break and cool down. The second reason is short of water. When you stay in the sun for long, you will sweat (流汗) a lot, and your body will lose too much water. As a result, your blood becomes thicker, which makes it harder for your heart to send blood. And it means less O2, will be sent to your body. If your body doesn’t have O2 inside, you will feel even more tired. Another reason-is sunburn (日晒), which is your skin’s reaction (皮肤的反应) to the UV in sunlight. As a form of protection, your skin turns red, but this is also tiring for your body. Warming rays (光线) are good for you, but tiredness is your body’s way of telling you that it has enough sunlight in the day. So you should have a rest. Do you know the sun very well? Advantage 1. All the living things live on the sun. 2. Human bodies get vitamin D from the sun. Disadvantage The sun makes humans 57 58 1. The sun heats up humans’ bodies, but it takes much 59 to cool down, which makes humans tired. 2. The sun makes humans lose 60 by sweating, which causes the lack of O₂in the body, so humans feel tired. 3. The sun burns humans’ skin, and skin turns red to 61 itself, which is tiring for the body. 【答案】57. tired 58. Reasons 59. energy 60. water 61. protect 【来源】重庆市第九十五中2024-2025学年八年级下学期期中考试英语试题 【知识点】科普知识、身体部位、说明文 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了为什么长时间待在太阳下会让人感到疲惫。 57. 根据“However, after spending long hours in the sun, you may feel tired.”可知，长时间在阳光下暴晒，可能会感到疲倦。所以填形容词tired“感到疲惫的”，作宾语补足语。故填tired。 58. 根据“Why does the sun make you feel tired?”和“Another reason-is sunburn, which is your skin’s reaction  to the UV in sunlight.”可知，文章的二、三、四段是介绍故长时间待在太阳下会让人感到疲惫的三个原因。所以填名词填reason“原因”的复数形式reasons，和上面的“Disadvantage”等一样，首字母大写。故填Reasons。 59. 根据“First, your body doesn’t want to heat up, so it has to use lots of energy to cool itself down and remain its common temperature 37°C.”可知，你的身体不想发热，所以它必须消耗大量能量来给自己降温，保持37℃的普通体温，所以让人感到疲惫。所以填不可数名词energy“能量”，作动词takes的宾语。故填energy。 60. 根据“When you stay in the sun for long, you will sweat a lot, and your body will lose too much water. As a result, your blood becomes thicker, which makes it harder for your heart to send blood. And it means less O2, will be sent to your body. If your body doesn’t have O2 inside, you will feel even more tired.”可知，长时间在阳光下暴晒，会大量出汗，出汗使人体缺水，从而导致体内缺乏氧气，所以人会感到疲倦。所以填不可数名词water“水”，作动词lose的宾语。故填water。 61. 根据“Another reason-is sunbur, which is your skin’s reaction to the UV in sunlight. As a form of protection, your skin turns red, but this is also tiring for your body.”可知，太阳会晒伤人的皮肤，为了保护自己，皮肤会变红，但这也会让身体感到疲惫。所以填动词protect“保护”的原形，和空前的to构成动词不定式结构。故填protect。 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
